    I think im gonna start with the good old ebay method of gaining my first pound and rather than sell something that someone has given me im gonna im going to try a "fun" auction to keep in the spirit of the Paperclip Canadian mentioned earlier in the thread :)

    Havent a clue what "fun" thing i am going to ebay yet though but plenty of time for thinking.

    Anyway - in my auction am i ok to link to this site and this thread as id rather tell people what im attempting to do rather than appear to be ripping a buyer off

    I don't think there's any rule to stop you linking to this site. I'm not sure if it might be a problem though... I have heard of a site getting lots of spam and trouble makers when its was linked to on ebay. Maybe you could say 'and as part of the can I make £1,024 in 11 weeks challenge on moneysavingexpert.com...' so that people could find it if they wanted to, but it doesn't actually give a link.

    Be interested to know what others think... :think:

    Hi all - thanks Katchfisch - yeah I have been on there a while he he! Pretty addictive...

    I have added more items - now up to 10 total, of which I think 6 relate to this challenge. I have also added Boots & Debenhams vouchers that I got free from stationery orders.

    If anyone wants to look I don't mind - wolf_nuzzles is the ID...

    Edit: I just created a spreadsheet and have earned £7.50 to-date (of which £1 is current item on E-bay being bid on) but I have spent £7.59 - so for now until the auctions end I am only £0.91 in credit - depressing!!!

    You can post, but a full stop or comma would be good.:D

    I would love to take a look at some MSEs ebay listings, never know, might spot something I might like!

    I am not sure if I am allowed to ask on here for people's ebay ids, so if anyone would like someone to take a look at what they have on offer, please PM me.

    Thanks
